I actually just finished the 2018 game and am of the mind that his character didnt really change THAT much, maybe towards the end arguably.

it's always been baffling to me how gamers cried when roger ebert said video games weren't art but violently react when video games are elevated on an emotional and/or aesthetic level

Art is when big robots and zombies. Having feelings is feminine and woke.

What they always wanted was people from "legitimate" forms of media to tell them that video games are legitimate too.

Of course video games have always been art - guys like Roger Ebert who dismiss the medium are reacting to the fact that the biggest games are crass commercial products. Imagine dismissing all of cinema but the only films you've seen are the Marvel movies.
